Clean the white case by the track pad

My computer has marks that look like dirt where the heels of my hands sit, I have tried clorox wipes and no luck. The ibooks in the apple store don't have this problem, what are they using?

Ryan,
It sounds like you have an iBook, and not a MBP? GooGone works for tough stains. Also Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are fantastic. I use Clorox Wipes to for light cleaning and to disinfect.

  • The track pad on my MacBook Pro is going crazy what can I do?

    Yesterday I tried using my Mac book pro when I noticed that my track pad wasn't working it would either move really slow or not at all and then when it does move it goes all crazy and starts moving or clicking things with out me doing anything what can I do two days ago it was working fine and I have tried cleaning the track pad 

    The same happend to me, you need to call applecare or take it to the genius bar to have the trackpad swapped out. I hope you have applecare becuase the unibody macbooks will need the whole bottom chassis replacing which can be pricey.
    Just a quick fix (it will only work for around 30 mins each time) untill you can take it in. Press all four corners of the trackpad down hard (without breaking it) then let go. Your trackpad should work for a short while.

    khryzpher,
    your model MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test comes on one of those two grey installation DVDs; it’s an essential tool for troubleshooting. You’re going to need to contact Apple directly to purchase a replacement pair for your MacBook Pro; be sure to have its serial number handy.
    Your model MacBook Pro didn’t originally come with Snow Leopard installed at the factory. If you don’t have the white retail Snow Leopard DVD, then I’d also recommend that you purchase that, in case your hard drive fails and you’d like to install Snow Leopard onto its replacement.

  • With snow leopard, basic keyboard functions like double clicking on a desktop item now require me to hold control and then click on the track pad.  I'm trying to recall, I seem to remember Leopard allowing you to double click items to open them?

    I notice in iPhoto that if I used to be able to single/double click on a photo to view it but now if I click CONTROL and then the TRACK PAD, the options don't allow me to open JUST that photo in nearly full page format.  Any suggestions?

    "nearly full page" means that I used to be able to double click on a photo in iPhoto, and it would open up to a full image within iPhoto itself.  Now, there is absolutely no option to enlarge a photo unless you go to slideshow - no option to double click or side click or Control+click or Command+click or anything at all.  The small white arrow at the bottom right corner of every photo gives you options, but none are options that include enlarging a photo to see it bigger.  And no, you cannot double click it at all to even open it up in any other app unless you click/drag onto desktop and then open in Photoshop, or equivalent app. Yes, checked TP preferences.  No, it doesn't help.

  • I have just rebuilt my Macbook pro and I use a mouse which plugs in. Since the rebuild it will not perform an open instruction, or the track pad either, which it use to do. Anyone any ideas

    Since I installed a clean rebuild of my system my track pad and mouse will not open a folder or file using a double click. I have to use Apple key plus O. I have checked the preferences but cannot see anything that will help me.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

  • Gt780 brushed aluminum panel slightly "raised" near the track pad

    I bought a GT780 i5 version about a month ago, ever since I noticed that the brushed aluminum panel is slightly raised at the top edge of the track pad, seems the adhesive didn't do its job anyway, when i try to press down lightly to try and set it back, i noticed that the track pad itself may have been installed/set too low... why do I say this? Because when i try to press down on the aluminum panel at the top of the track pad it sets lower than the surrounding aluminum, which indicates that the portion on top of the track pad is lower.
    I have no idea how this unit is put together, I do not know if the plastic underneath the aluminum panel is a 1-piece design or otherwise...
    anyway, that's my only gripe... as it looks cheap and unprofessional.

    The first thing to do of course is take it back to where the repair was done and see if they are willing or able to make it right. If you get no satisfaction from them, you could then call Apple Customer Relations and explain that the repair was not properly done at their authorized repair facility and that you feel that the damage inflicted on your computer ought to be repaired. Be very nice and polite. You may need to send it off to Apple for proper repair. But if you are under Applecare, then they really should take care of this.
    If you just have a one year warranty, you might consider purchasing the 3 year warranty. Otherwise, once your one year warranty is up, you will be on your own. If you are at all close to the end of your 1 year warranty, be sure and get a case number documenting that the problem first occurred under warranty.
    Good luck!

  • Why in the world would Apple make the track pad LESS useful in OS Lion?  I hate that I can't g back to the top of a web page with a singe swipe.  And of course all the other gestures are totally reversed.  IMHO, this was not an imporvement.

    No one here works for Apple.
    Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom, and uncheck Scroll direction: Natural.

  • I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.

    I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.
    Also the track pad seems to be slower/ not picking up all my finger movements.

    You might want to take the computer to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them give you an estimate, at least, on how much it would cost to 'fix' the trackpad - I've no idea what the cost would be. The trackpad on MBPs is one of the most sensitive elements in the computer's design. They usually don't go bad, but yours seems to be giving you some trouble: so just make a Genius Bar appointment and just get an estimate - might be something simple.

  • Can I use the mouse and the track pad at the same time?

    I'm not comfortable with the track pad yet - can I use a mouse and the track pad simultaneously?

    Yes, both can be used simultaneously.

  • NO Cursor scroll through any message thread using the track pad in the BB Classic

    It very strange to know that I didn't find the cursor while i will scroll through any message thread i.e. Text msgs  and in Whatsapp it will only selet the whole msg or multiple msgs rather then specfic text required, using the track pad in my BB Classic.
    Where in my old BB 9780 there was a cursor which would always show there and would help in selecting text required.... Rather in BB Classic first you have to activate the selection mode in text msgs by pressing the shift key an slighty brush the finger against the trakpad. then you get the selection blue sticks on the screen to selet the text required.
    Anyone who has noticed this short coming...?? Or it might be I am not very familair with the selection methods...!!!
    Will appreciate your help
    Thanks,
    Falak Zaib

    This is normal behaviour. Please go to the "Tutorial" app select
    "Editing Text"
    It will show you exactly how it works.

  • My macbook froze up. Finger gestures work, but I cant close out of any windows. How do I close out the windows without using the track pad?

    My macbook froze up. Finger gestures work, but I can't close out of any windows by clicking on the red "X". How do I close out the windows without using the track pad?

    Command + W will close a window. Command + Q will quit a program.

  • Where is the magnet located in the track pad and display lid?

    where is the magnet located in the track pad and display lid?
    have to see if theres a problem with the display magnet because when i close the lid, the sleep function does not work.
    am using a fridge magnet to move around the track pad to see if this will activate sleep mode. im begining to wonder if its worth just going with out the auto sleep mode and maybe try n get some money of what i paid for it (it was a refurb machine)

    as a guess, around the middle of trackpad, maybe half an inch moving from the lead edge towards the screen
    also, give it a few seconds to activate in any one spot - it's not instant

  • HT203171 Track pad is erratic, sometimes scrolling without touching the pad. Also highlighting chunks of my Thesis with the touch of a finger. Frustrating because I have accidentally deleted during this out of control mechanism with the track pad.

    My Mac Book Air has developed an erratic process with the track pad. Sometimes the page scrolls without touching the pad, great chunks of my Thesis can be highlighted and sometimes I delete without realising. Does anyone else have this problem. The Tech wants to replace my track pad today, not sure what to do?

  • How do you control the track pad?

    The track pad seems to have a mind of its own after Lion installation. Seems to copy everything it crosses over. Is there a way to have it behave like it did in the Snow Leopard?
